drink coffee, read magazines and blogs, clean up my desk (at least once a day)
how do designers develop ideas?
Read the briefing. Try to understand. Read the briefing again. Drink a coffee. Read the briefing again. Do some moods, and try to think further than needed.
main influences
There is no special influence on my work. It all depends on the project and the task.

I guess like almost every designers’ workspace: desk, lamp, mac.
what is an ideal designer like?
Always willing to learn, interested in the client, and task-oriented.
what is a dream client like?
Always willing to learn, interested in the designers thoughts and ideas, and task-oriented.
relationship with client
Mostly very good, trustful, and somehow like a friendship. Mostly, not always.

I cope well.
what do you like or dislike
about the others’ behaviour?
about the others’ behaviour?
I like when the clients have respect for what I do, and make their contribution to the project. I don’t like when they treat me like a servant, and just wait for me to solve their problems.
